CBA staff publish 2 science papers on reservoir ecology

CBA staff Michal Pavlik and John Cooper recently co-authored two papers on effects of reservoir operations on the physiology of migrant songbirds. Both papers are available online: Variation in plasma corticosterone in migratory songbirds: a test of the migration-modulation hypothesis and use as an environmental monitoring tool. Physiological and Biochemical Zoology 87:695-703. http://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/676937.
